Truth and False

7

        I was petrified, absolutely mortified with fear as his figure made its way towards me. I couldn't move I just stood there ready to try and explain the situation and prove I was not a kidnapper.

        Victor towered over me and looked at me directly in my eyes. I opened my mouth about to say something but instead felt a sharp pain in both of my cheeks as Victor pinched and stretched them.

        "Yuri~ Look at this girl, she's so cute and she looks just like me!"

         "Victor stop harassing her we might get in trouble." Yuri piped in as he tried to pry Victor's grip from my cheeks, but that only frightened me more. I squeaked and backed away al little as I tried to compose myself and explain.

        "Ahem. I'm but my cheeks feel a little sore right now. . . um, I found your son lost in the Mall after I fled the chaos and-"

        "None of that was your fault young lady." I look o Victor in shock as he continued,

        "Your performance was amazing and I just wanted to share your talent with the world and I shouldn't have posted the video without your permission. I am the one who should apologize first." Yuri looked at him almost like an expecting housewife. Which I tried not to squeal at.

        "Big Sis Cammy took care of me when I got lost while skating. Can she be my babysitter so we can play together?" Nikolai's young, sweet voice broke up the scene and gave him all the attention. Yuuri then gave him a sad look and said,

        "Nikolai, Her place is here. She can't go with you to school." I felt sad for Nikolai and his tears forming on his delicate eyelashes were enough to make my heart break a thousand times over.

        "Excuse me but, he kept saying he would have to leave somewhere . . . did he mean kindergarten in Russia?" The two parents look at each other and then look at me Yuuri was about to say something, but an all too familiar angry voice came barging into our conversation.

        "The two idiots are never around for something like school, so our coach decided to give them the option of an all men boarding school." Yurio finally got out of Mochi's grasped and angrily walked past me as he spoke and stood with next Yuuri.

        I suppose this was the truth since Nikolai burst into tears and quietly cried over Yuuri's shoulder and earned a sincere look of sympathy from Yurio himself. I quietly watched him until I felt another pair of eyes bore into the side of my head. The pair of eyes belonged to Victor as he examined me with a piercing gaze. I got shaken up and backed away right into Mochi's stomach. He then snapped his fingers and said,

        "Why not you take care of Nikolai for us Cammie, since Nikolai trusts you so very much." Everyone was dead silent until Yurio went full bonkers and started using a barrage of swears and curses at the two, but only for Victor to ignore him and press his question onto me.

        "H-hold on Victor. S-she's only a teenager. She has her own life we can't press anything like that on her." Yuuri said as he grabbed Victor's attention with his timid voice. I was dazed throughout the whole thing until a cough from Mochi captured all of our attention.

         "I think the little guy has something to say." Mochi comments as he points to Nikolai making a grabbing hands motion towards me. Yuuri sets him down as he runs over and hugs my leg tightly with a vice grip.

        "I don't want to leave Big Sis Cammy. She is nice and she helped me when I fell." Nikolai's words trembled as he looked back at his parents and then looked up towards me. He then began to bawl loudly only for me to crouch to his level and start comforting him.

        "Shhhh. Shhhh. Shhhh. Nikolai can I tell you something?" Nikolai is silenced and nods as he wipes his nose with his sleeve. I dry his eyes away with my thumb as I tell him,

        "Nikolai it's okay to miss people, but they can not go with you to school, but can I tell you a secret?" He nods once again as I continued,

        "I'm going away to go to school too. I want to be a teacher and my parents told me I had to go away for a little while too."
Nikolai's eyes widened as he asked, "Weren't you sad?"

        "Of course, but I made a promise to my family before I left." He stares at me with practical stars in his puffy eyes as he listens intently.

        "I promised that if I was good to my teachers, good to people, and made good grades, I would get a snow cone. Just like the one I shared with you today. . . What I'm trying to say is, you are strong and as long as you keep doing good with school and be nice, You'll make many friends and maybe make snow cone memories with them."

        Nikolai was silent until he gave me a big hug. Victor, Yuuri, and, Mochi smiled wide towards me while Yurio tried to look disinterested but the blush n his face was evident that he was touched.

        Nikolai then let go of me and asked, "Can I make a promise with Big Sis Cammy?"

        "Umm." I look to Victor and Yuri to which Victor nodded a 'yes' vigorously.

        "Sure Nikolai."

        "Then when both Big Sis and I get out of school, we both have fun and play together and eat snow cones." I look at both of his parents again as he did himself and waited for their answer.

        "So what was the answer, Mrs. Flowers?" One of my students asked practically on the edge of his seat as the rest of the class leaned in. I opened my mouth to say something but the recess bell rang.

        "I'll tell you what. Everyone go and play and then when we come back in and eat lunch I'll finish my story." Everyone sprinted to the door with immense speed leaving the classroom empty. I was grading some papers until I heard a knock at the door. I looked up to see a familiar pair of Chocolate eyes and goofy smile.

        "Hello honey, how are you?" Mochi smiled and came towards me to give me a kiss on the cheek. With a simple peck, he smiled and gestured me towards the door as he said, "Someone is here for a visit."

        Nikolai stood before me in his prestigious uniform and hair slicked back. I smiled widely as I outstretched my arms for a hug which he immediately took.

        "Welcome Nikolai it's good to see you but, I thought you get out of school next week?"

        "Well, your husband works magic." He gestures to mochi who only gives an even goofier grin.

        "Besides, I wanted to know if my favorite grade school teacher and awesome principal wanted to eat snow cones this weekend with my family? Just like old times."

        "Of Course, we would love to, Nikolai and if you have time, would you like to finish a story to my class when they get back?"

        "Sure. What story?"

"Oh, You know it well." I gave him a mischievous smirk as I took my place at my desk once again.
